Which source code editor you use ??


I was just searching @ freshmeat.net about a source code editor for X except Vi(m) or Emacs and their clones.
I can across Jext and Bluefish which i kinda liked.

So, which source code editor do you use for X ???
(mostly for C/C++ and/or for Java/web etc...)

Kate or KWrite if you're using KDE. Kate has a nice syntax highlighting feature.

Well, I use emacs but Eclipse is a pretty decent IDE. It's full-featured, has plugins for almost every language you could want, and is platform-independant.

Be warned, though...it's a desktop application completely written in Java, so it's got its issues.

Jedit is pretty nice at my opinion. By default it is a big java notepad, but you can (and should) have plugins to make it your perfect <insert language there> development environnement.

eclipse is much heavy for my celeron II - 256 ram linux box

I have tried KWrite but i did not get much enthusiasm and i have to admit that i use WindowMaker :P
So it's better to find something that is WindowManager-Indipendent :P

Ouch, yeah...Eclipse is sort of out then. And don't admit that you use WindowMaker - be proud (best WM I've ever come across).

Hmm...I've heard a lot about Bluefish, and I guess CoffeeCup is ok if you're doing some sort of HTML which you're not comfortable just writing plaintext.

I just came across adjuta, which could be nifty if it actually does what it promises.

I know you said no vi clones, but gvim has menus and toolbars so you don't need to learn all the commands.

anjuta seems good i liked the shots and especially i like that it is for C/C++ and java
Looks like BlueFish but i guess all these IDEs may look similar to each other ^^
Have you tried anjuta ?

Maybe Vim is a lot functional but sometimes, especially when you develop large projects don't you want an IDE that you can see summarized all your Classes or Functions with nifty icons etc ??

If there is a frontend for Vim or Emacs that does this let me know
(i tried a bit Vim and Emacs and i got to say i liked better Vim :P )

btw there is no gvim for Linux , or am i wrong ?? freshmeat.net returns no results ^^

Yes, there's a gvim for linux. A lot of distros release their own packages, but I believe that it just comes with vim... type 'gvim' and see what happens?

Never tried adjuta, myself...when I need to code it's emacs all the way, except for when they make us use eclipse at work. I'd be with you, though...if I had a large > 10-file project, I'd be scrambling for an IDE too.
